Mean Well Adds Circular 160W LED Drivers for High-Bay Systems

June 03, 2013 by Jeff Shepard

Mean Well Enterprises Co. Ltd. has added the HBG-160 series (160W) series of power supply for bay lighting applications, which are also the first circular shape power units among Mean Well’s LED product line. Featuring a circular design, these new series are easy to assemble and perfectly fit in the mechanical structure of high/low bay lighting fixtures. Fully potted, their aluminum enclosure can be tightly assembled to the heat sink of lighting fixtures to provide good heat dissipation, which helps to solve the mechanism limits of old style bay lighting systems using slim shape LED power supplies.

Featuring with 90-305Vac wide-range input and 24-60dcC single output voltage, the HBG-160 series are designed with a high-efficiency topology, providing up to 93.5% efficiency and can be cooled by free air convection from -40°C to +60°C ambient temperature. As long as the temperature on the top of the enclosure can be controlled under 70°C, the power supply service life could be guaranteed up to 40,000 hours. In order to withstand the outdoor harsh environment, the newly designed aluminum-molding case with fully glue-potting (IP65/67 structure) can provide excellent heat dissipation ability and mechanical strength.

Built-in two-stage PFC function, HBG-160 series comply with harmonic current limitation per EN61000-3-2 Class C (>60% load). They also fulfill PF>0.9 if loading over 50% and possess 4KV surge immunity (EN61000-4-5) ability which complies with the requirements of lighting applications. Suitable for different installation alternatives, such as chain type, hanger type, or metal frame type, HBG-160 series can be installed with LED modules, heat sink modules, and lampshades, to fulfill the various requirements of lighting fixtures.

In addition to standard protection functions for short circuit, over voltage, overload, and over temperature, these power units have a 5-year warranty and provide dimming functions of “three-in-one dimming “(B type models). They comply with global certificates per UL/ CUL/ TUV/ CB/ CE. Suitable applications include LED high/low bay lighting, stage lighting, LED spot lighting, and other outdoor architectural lighting systems.
